Emmelyn gave Mr. Ato ten gold coins. She didn't know how much usually a painter was paid, but she figured ten gold coins was a lot and he could live comfortably for a year with it.
The man looked shocked by the amount that he received and thought he was dreaming. He didn't say anything for a few moments and made Emmelyn confused.
"Is that not enough?" she asked him. "I am very sorry. I will give you more."
The old man quickly shook his head vigorously. Ten gold coins was A LOT for his standard. He didn't want this kind lady to give him more. The crown prince might think Mr. Ato intentionally acted that the money was not enough to make the lady give him more.
No, no.. he shouldn't let it happen.
"No, Your Highness.. this is a lot of money already. I am humbled by your generosity," he took the gold looking extremely happy. "I am sorry, I was just shocked. Your Highness don't need to give me anything. I am very grateful."
